Mission Statement
Club 21 Learning and Resource Center provides educational tools and resources that enable individuals with Down syndrome to be fully included
About This Cause
Club 21 empowers families to identify the needs of their child with Down syndrome and teaches them how to navigate the terrain of the medical, educational, and Regional Center systems to maximize their child’s potential. Among the greatest barriers for individuals with Down syndrome are the assumptions that they are unable to learn and contribute to society, leading to low expectations and a lack of resources. Over the past 25 years, research on how an individual with Down syndrome learns, therapies that support their growth and opportunities for them to learn in an inclusive setting have become available. By teaching toward their specific learning profile and presuming competence, most children with Down syndrome will become lifelong learners and gain the life skills necessary to be fully included. For that to be a reality, family support, school support, direct educational training, and community building are essential. All of our programs and services fall into these 4 categories. Club 21 believes education has the power to change lives, communities and the world. Through its educational pathway, Club 21 is changing the narrative of Down syndrome and opening doors so that individuals with Down syndrome can be fully included and live, healthy, self-determined and fulfilling lives.
